free-pgtables

Move the tlb flushing into free_pgtables. The conversion of the locks
taken for reverse map scanning would require taking sleeping locks
in free_pgtables() and we cannot sleep while gathering pages for a tlb
flush.

Move the tlb_gather/tlb_finish call to free_pgtables() to be done
for each vma. This may add a number of tlb flushes depending on the
number of vmas that cannot be coalesced into one.

The first pointer argument to free_pgtables() can then be dropped.
